The name "Stonebay" came when Ojie was reading an article from Guitar World on "Surf Music" in 1995 and the word "BAY" caught his eye, while the word Stone, was taken from Pearl Jam's guitarist, Stone Gossard, who is one of his influence at that time.At first Ojie wanted to name their band "Gossardbay" but just saying it reminded him of a mexican called "gossarobay". He scraped the first idea and decided to stick with Stonebay which sounded just nice to him. To Date, Stonebay has played nearly a hundred gigs and are now planning to record their full length album thru an independent label.The album is expected to be released in 2008. After a few lineup changes the band now consist of Ashroff (guitars), Valen (Drums), Izuan (Acoustic) and Ronnie (Bass).
